I smell SNOW!!

Good Morning!

Hi!

Hello!

How are you?

The weather man said to expect Snow this weekend....

Bread shelves are already empty...

I asked Kris was there anything he wanted and he said, "No." 

I looked in our cabinets and saw.... we are pretty good on food and everything...

Strange...

Normally I am one of those crazy people buying up the store... 

I'm not going to this time...

So will it snow?

Do I even want Snow?

Who knows.. They are saying at least 2 inches...

and Maybe...

One of my favorite things about the snow now is to see Audrey go nuts playing in the snow.

So makes me wonder...

What are your favorite things about Snow?

Do you like snow?

Do you play in the Snow or stay inside?

All I need is power... Blankets... cuddles...and Netflix!

Hope you all stay warm and safe

New year is upon us

Hi!

Hello!

How are you?!!

Can you believe we are about to start a new year?!

Where did this one go?

Do you make resolutions? I kinda do but it's more like Goals to accomplish during the year!

My Goals For 2017!!!

Here We Go:

1. Lose 20 pounds
2. Tone up
3. Cook new things
4. Try a Kick Boxing class
5. Post 20 posts in a month, every month on here.
6. Go on another cruise
7. Level up in Younique
8. Do more adventures with my Mom
9. Go to the shoot range and take a class
10. Team up with another Blogger.

Now, of course I am going to say Lose weight and be fit..... I want to continue this the whole year... I'm going to be turning 30! I want to look fantastic! 30 is just a number! I want to feel that way when the time comes!

I'd like to get to where I get 10,000 steps on my Fitbit at least once a week!!! 

Now I do want to start cooking different things... I know sounds like it kinda defeats the purpose but for most of the days and night I hope to be sticking with Weight Watchers and doing Zumba like it's going out of style!

Just saw at my favorite outdoor mall that they do a Cooking class. Which you end up cooking your dinner during this class! 

Try a kick boxing class! Looks like fun and would be nice to Punch something and not get in trouble, since punching people if frowned upon. 

Have at least 20 posts a month on here! Considering there are 28,30,or 31 days in a month... I think I could do this.... I'd love to get more followers! I see people reading my posts but feels like I am talking to myself sometimes!

Go on another cruise! Yes! I would love to see The Virgin Islands...  That's our next want to spot to travel to! 

I want to have more dates with my Mom... I would love to go do more with her. Even if it is cook her dinner or something!

Level up in Younique! I would love to start selling more and level up. I have a lot of work to do to get that done. I need to take more PICTURES! I need to do more VIDEOS.  I feel like with getting healthy again I'll have the motivation to look good and feel good all working for me. 

Team up with more Bloggers to guest blog or do a fun post featuring both of us! Yes! I would love to work with another Blogger. Fashion...Makeup...TV Show...anything! I would love to share the styles or opinions of others and have a kick butt post because of it!

Sounds like an exciting year!

If you are a blogger and are interested in teaming up..... Please please please Contact me!!! I would love it!

What are your goals for 2017?

Hope you all have a wonderful and safe NEW YEAR!

What did you think?

Good Morning! 

Hello!!! 

How are you?

Hope you all had an amazing Thanksgiving!

I know I did! It was Perfect!!

Kris and I shared Thanksgiving with my parents and my sister and her husband in Myrtle Beach!

The Best Time!!

Audrey isn't very happy with me that she came home to her Boyfriend at our house and seems to think we got another dog... He is going home tonight though... I can't wait. Not that he's bad or anything but I want her to be happy and back to herself. 

I have missed her!

Alright....

I wasn't going to do this... but I have to...

*Spoiler Alert*

If You haven't watched Gilmore Girls The year in The Life then don't read today and Come back tomorrow and join me for Christmas discussions!!!

I decorated so I wanted to share it all with you!!!

Alright, well.... I loved seeing them all back on the show. It was great to see the town and everyone still doing their part.

One of my favorite moments was seeing Lane's band play! They rocked! Seeing them all was so cool!

I liked seeing Dean and Rory have they little convo and their little joke on the Cornstarch...

Jess... oh man Jess... How HOT looking was he? 

The Bathroom scene with Paris was another high light of the show for me!

Luke and Lorelei... Why did it take so long?! I feel like that should have already happened and just show me a recap.

I had mixed feelings about Rory... I mean I liked seeing that she was struggling made her more human to me but the Logan thing... ehh... I didn't like that too much cause Shame on both of them...

The Last 4 Words... well Im not sad that that's what they were but when they were actually said bothers me... That felt out of character... or more Rushed then anything...

I would like to hope there would be more... I'd say a spin off but then I don't know that that would really capture all of what Gilmore Girls is and was. 

Can't do a show without having everyone on it... They are all a family.. kinda an all or nothing... 

Alright....

Well I would love to hear your thoughts!

Hope you all have a great day!

<3 Ashley

Step back and say WHOA!

Good Morning!! How is everyone?! Hopefully ya'll are all doing SUPER DUPER! 

So I have to admit.... this year my drive for achieving goals is no where near as awesome as it was last year.... I have said so many times I was going to do....and I didn't.

I actually just read some of my motivational posts from last year and I read nothing but excitement and pride with myself. 

I'm not saying I don't like myself .... I do for sure!  

Just disappointed in myself... Plus my body has rolls that are rolling out of shirts i have never had issues with... that's disturbing...

In no way am I on here complaining and saying I am fat... just whoa what happened? 

The fact that I was able to slay the goals last year and this year have no motivation... it floored me... I could lose weight and exercise and be healthy for someone else's wedding but not my own.... Whaaaat?

Crazy...even worse... I have so many more resources too! Gym membership...Fitbit...2 Zumba DVD sets...resistance bands.... ankle weights...Weight Watchers program...

Like seriously!

Now that my wedding is done... I have the urge to get back into the routine. Isn't that silly?

Yet, I want to cook more! Different foods....

So, with all that said.... I guess there's no real reason for a starting point. Any time you can start over and go for it. There's no goal but the goal of doing it for myself.

Reading how good I felt and all the energy I had.... looked and sounds so wonderful.

Now, I think I will go back and read those posts again!

Goals  Motivation  Feel Good Weigh In Wednesdays

I have actually ordered 2 new to me Zumba sets.

Zumba Tone Up DVD Set

&

Zumba Country DVD

I will have those DVDs on Friday... So I think this weekend I will start getting back into doing my Zumba Routines and start wearing my FITBIT again.

Come On 10,000 steps!


Can't wait to share with you all about the DVD sets.

If you have those let me know what you think!

I am PROUD!

Good Morning Everyone! Hope everyone had an awesome long weekend. Work has been hectic ever since we came back. It's all good though. 

As for Younique, I didn't make the Pink Status goal. Which is totally fine! I am a little upset but not too much because I did get so close that I was $400 away from meeting the goal. This month I hope to knock that right on out of the park.

Besides, I am quite proud of myself for trying to go after it. It is hard work for sure. I myself have to sell $250 then have someone under me sell at least $125 and by the end of the month as a group sold $2000 worth. So to be just $400 away from it? I'd say I was on the right path for sure!

It started all over yesterday but I have a really good feeling about it because the June Kudos is so awesome! I think that will for sure help out! 

I did a live Broadcast on Periscope last night which was scary but super fun! I started showing off the June Kudos and talking about each product and then I had a viewer asking about some other products...So I ended up talking about Younique for an hour! It was great!

I am thinking about doing another broadcast tonight. maybe instead of talking so much just do some demos.

Anyway, enough rattling I will do that again tonight haha 

Hope everyone has an awesome day! 

Please feel free to comment below any questions, thoughts, or ideas you want to share with me. I would love to hear from each of you!

"Frozen" with this thought

Good morning everyone! I had another post scheduled to happen today but after reading an article this morning my brain started thinking hard.

In no way am I trying to upset anyone or hurt anyone, just wanted to share my thoughts on my blog. 

I read that they are thinking of making a sequel to Frozen showing that Elsa is Gay.

I don't agree with that thought. Now I am, all about you loving your self and who ever you do out in this world. One of my favorite Characters in a show turned to be gay and it was kind of hard to understand at first but how I was feeling other characters felt it to... of you love that character and it was a learning experience for the other characters and the viewers. Now I was also in high school when that subject came into talk/ thought. 

The story of Elsa has already been told. She is a strong Woman that is Independent and showed children that love between sisters is what can help you through life. That was the happy ending.  Just because Frozen had it's moment of the happy ending wasn't a princess finding a prince. It gave it's own story just like a lot of the movies do. 

Each princess show you a different life and a different journey. Elsa had powers and happy ending I just feel adding that to it as well will just make you look over the original story.

So I feel like if they are wanting to make a gay princess then start with a brand new character. Let us go on her journey from start to finish that is focused on that. Just the only thing that bothers me about that is when you watched the Princess when you were young I wanted to be each one of them.

 Snow White made me not like apples.....Cinderella made me want to dance with my prince.....Sleeping Beauty made me want to act like I was asleep all the time in hope that my prince would find me.... So now if I was that young girl would I watch this new Princess and want to be gay just like her.  

Again, I am not saying it's a bad thing to be at all but I feel like in my day that didn't come up until middle school high school ages. So is it going to have that same affect on children that aren't experiencing those kinds of issues/feelings. They look at the princesses as who they want to be when they grow up.   

I understand that times have changed and that rereading all that I am typing it's making me sound really old now.

It's really hard to understand what happened to the world to where we now have to be careful with everything we say or do for it not to offend everyone and it become such an issue. Why is everyone feeling so left out with everything  going on? Am I so stuck in my own little world being my own person that I have missed something? 

My intentions with this post wasn't to hurt or offend just simply a place where I can type out my thoughts. You can get your own blog and do that too!

Hope everyone has a great day!

Hi.... Remember me?

Hey everyone! ummm...wow! I'm so very sorry. My life has been super busy and jam packed with Fun and learning life lessons that I haven't had a chance to sit and type my thoughts away. 

I am very proud of myself because I have lost 12 pounds since February! The bridesmaid dress had to be slimmed down 2 dress sizes! I now measured into 2 more bridesmaid dresses as a size 6!

Yes, you read that right.. I said 2 more bridesmaid dresses! My friend's getting married and My sister! I am going to be my sister's maid of honor! 

Audrey is on week 3 of her training classes and has won Star Student 2 weeks in a row! She has also giving me a scare and is getting better from that now! 

Well there's a little bit of an update... I hope to have time to go all into the details with you here soon!

Really PLL Really?

Good morning! I am so mad at Pretty Little Liars like I am sure most of you are as well! Charles is A..... WHO IS CHARLES? It seems like he is Jason's twin but then why was Ali's mom making Alison forget about the Yellow dress that was for another girl? What would Jason's twin have against Alison? I could understand the whole Alison twin theory but Jason's? Plus I thought A was going to be someone we have seen this whole time? which we could but he just revealed his real name last night.... but still not what I wanted or was expecting. Yay! Mona is alive! 

I am just so mad.. the big reveal was yet another confusing twist! I guess I can finally be happy to know that at least I am not A which many times I have wondered. 

 I have to say it was a really good episode just mad it didn't result the way I wanted.

Oh well now we just wait for Summer when it comes back to confuse us more.....Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Does it really pay to be good?

That is a question I keep asking myself over and over. I like being a good person and I sleep just fine at night but with some events that have taken place recently it has really made me wonder. I work 3 jobs and still struggle here and there and don't make a big deal of it because I am doing the best I can and well I make sure I don't spend all of my money shopping. Sometimes life throws a little curve and I end up not saving as much from pay check to paycheck because of it. I see others spend all their money and yet have others giving them money," oh yeah sure I'll pay you back." and yet they never do and still keep getting money. How about ones that do the same rude actions over and over and still get whatever they want. When does it stop? I don't understand but I am happy to be the good person I am it just saddens me that others are so rude and hurtful and get away with everything because I know if I was every to do the same actions I would get in trouble right away.

Hope you all have a wonderful day

<3 Ashley
